What Amps Do You Own???

[Fragle]

Even though I own 4 amps, I have owned a total of 8 (including the ones I have now) since I was 13, I'm 25 now.

I have owned even less guitars (6).

Yeah I don't buy shit that often, but I got gas for a recto bad right now. Plus I can get it for $950.

same thing here, except for the cheap recto part

but i've been gassing for one since day one basically....they're just too friggin expensive over here.

anyways, out of all the amps i've owned/played, the 5150 wins for me - even though there's something about the highend in a recorded tone that i don't quite like anymore. live it's the shit, though.

thinking back, the mesa dc-5 i used to own also kicked major ass....it wasn't suited for playing out regulary though, with the flimsy 5 band graphic stuff and the likes. sure, a roadcase would fix that, but then again that's money i could as well put towards another amp (and i did, next one was the engl blackmore ^^).

but well....i need a recto, dammit!

I don't see the hype over vintage 30's they are honkey. ONLY with the PB

Edited for truth.

I'm far from rich man. I'm a poor uni student who blows scholarship money on amps and has been saving for them since I was 17 (21 now).

You'll get there in the end.

He's already got a 5150 and Splawn cab, I don't know why he's bitching about people being rich, I'd take that setup over my Triple XXX any day!

I'm really into the idea of getting a 6505+. But I think first, I'll get someone to look at my Laney and get it modded; 6L6's instead of EL34's, and probably get a noise-gate built into the amp, just after the pre-amp on the lead channel.

Embarrassingly don't even own an amp.
I spent the last 2 years borrowing them.
I got a POD X3 Live recently, but since I don't have an amp I've had to use studio monitors as my amp when I jam with a band lol.

isn't that completely fatal for the speakers??

 

[poidaobi]

I don't see the hype over vintage 30's least with the PB

Nevermind the countless albums with awesome tone that use v30's. Or the fact that it's the standard cab for most engineers.

Sigged.

EDIT: Absolutely nothing other than my 5150. Gotta get a Decimator and TS9 to complete my temporary live setup

fuck dude, i'm 26 and my broke ass has had 3 amps in my life...1st was a 20W rogue practice amp...yea, that's the shitty little brand that MF sells

2nd was an ampeg vl-1002 w/ a marshall MG cab...that got ditched last year for the krank and avatar

 

[Agonal]

yeah i agree that vintage 30's are good for most amps...like most of the ones you guys play:
rectifiers, 5150's, some marshalls as those amps are what you hear on most metal albums so it makes sense

vintage 30's really do make the powerball sound like shit though. the powerball is a great amp with a good cab though. try it with eminence or celestion v12-60's which sound the best.

speakers are just as important as the amp itself. vintage 30's aren't always the best choice..use your ears.

Silenoz from dimmu borgir uses the powerball with greenbacks according the to seymour duncan website

[cobhc]

Haha, I was waiting for you to chip in Andy .

 

[Metaltastic]

Jesus christ Andy, 6 Randall cabs? Marshall I understand for the trademark "wall of cabs," but why Randall? Endorsement? Also, how do you feel about the T2 and V2, both compared to one another and in general?

EDIT: And I'm surprised you don't have a 5150II/6505+, just for the sake of the different flavor

[Soundlurker]

Man, I imagine Andy standing in front of that wall of amps/cabs with a ladder next to him, wondering to which amp he should climb up this time.
